18 Months New- September 6, 2008

What a day! I slept until 8:15! The last time I did that was Mother's Day. Seems I've gotten the hang of sleeping in on Saturdays (I slept until 7:40 last Saturday).

So, once I got up... we went on a bike ride to Starbucks where I had bluberry coffee cake! Yum! Then we went to see the Ducks. Then we went home and I changed into a pretty outfit from Grammy (it was for my one year new, but I'm a slow grower- width wise- so it was new to me still). Then I went with Mama and Dada to Mi Cocina. The one on the pond where the ducks live. Then I took a nap for more than 3.5 hours. Afternap I became a Razorback cheerleader. We went to watch the Razorback game at the mall and while we waited for it to start, Mama and I played at the plastic playground and I did my Wooo Pig for everyone!

A fun and busy day. See some of the highlights!

Love you, Baby Addyson

School of Fish- September 3, 2008

Today was my very first ever day of school. Actually it is called Children's Day Out at the Children's Weekday Program. I needed a day out! Mama keeps me so busy with yucky swimming that is soooo hard. I have to go everyday! We always take at least one bike ride and go on car rides to other places and always play Little People and read stories. I thought my Mama break would be relaxing, but they keep us busy at CWP. There are 8 total in my class with 2 teachers. We played bubbles today and went to Movement and Motion and Singing and Playground too. We ate lunch and then went home.

My day was busy because I had swimming at 7:50, then breakfast at Starbucks with Mama- I had a cranberry-orange muffin, then to school, then special playtime with Mama in my playroom, then nap, then Miss Patty, then Dada comes home to see me while Mama teaches school to 14 big kids!!Enjoy the pictures from my first day.

Love you, Baby Addyson

PS- School of Fish was my theme today. Apparently, fish swim in school and so I wore a fish dress in their honor on my first day of school ever!!

Me at Starbucks ordering my muffin in one of those fun rolling highchairs at Starbucks!!

Me showing Mama where to put my cranberry-orange muffin. I like to grin when she puts it in the whole above my chin.

What's with all the pictures. We ride in the car everyday, but today seems we are headed somewhere special.

Just checking out the hallway outside my classroom before I felt comfortable going inside.





















Miss Shannon carrying me in despite my protest. Yes, this was the last image my Mama had of me today!! Guess checking out the hallway didn't help me to feel more comfortable afterall!!

Visiting Arkansas- August 29-31, 2008

I went to Arkansas to see Cousin Whitey. Then I saw Grammy, Aunt Diz, Robbie, and 72,000 Razorback fans. I also got to see Grammy's friend Robbie (2 Robbies one is a boy and one is a girl- very confusing for a one year newer) and her daughter Courtney. See me with playong with a singing lion and Cousin Whitey and Courtney and swinging with Dada in his pregame outfit.

WOO PIG SOOIE!- August 30, 2008

I practiced calling the hogs for 3 days before the game so I was all ready at 6pm Friday when the Hogs kicked off against the other team wearing purple. My team wears red so I did too. I got my face painted with a red pig on it. It was really fun and I felt super cute.

I put my hands in the air and wave them around when someone says, "Woo Pig." I was happy that Dada was happy after the game. The Hogs won and that is a good thing because apparently the other people in purple were only a little bit better than a high school team- something called second division? The Hogs barely won and had to come back on a 4th down with 10 backyards to go!!

Love you , Baby Addyson

Better Make That a Double Shot!!

Mama said that to the Barista. She says if I start on coffee she's going to have to start on drinking black eyes- that's Coffee with shots of espresso like Miss Rita used to drink before she started growing her baby in her special baby house.

Love you, Baby Addyson

PS- Those cups are sure frustrating. I couldn't get anything to come out at all- guess Mama drank it all before she let me have it!

Dallas World Aquarium- August 23, 2008

I went to the Dallas World Aquarium. It is shaped like a rain forest. I had lots of fun with it. I saw Ducks and Sharks and a Jaguar and Monkeys and Bats and Fish and my very favorite Otters. I had such a fun time watching the Otters swim in and out of the water and eat their lunch of Fishies!! I squeeled and screamed and lots of the grown talls who were there seeing the Otters turned to look at me instead then they giggled like I sometimes do.

Love you, Baby Addyson
